Though the just-completed successful Kickstarter for Broken Sword - the Serpent's Curse Adventure did not hit the funding milestone that would trigger a sequel to Beneath a Steel Sky, Tony Warriner of Revolution Software tells Develop their Kickstarter experience has inspired them to begin work on the follow up anyway, and full development will commence after the release of their just-funded project: "We're delighted by the recent level of interest in a sequel to Beneath a Steel Sky and are currently discussing design ideas for this project which we plan to go into development following the release of Broken Sword - The Serpent's Curse," he explains. "We're deeply touched that our Steel Sky fans are as enthusiastic today as they were when the original game released in 1994."

Great news. I'm ashamed to admit that, despite playing this some years ago, until now I didn't realize this was an actual classic Adventure game. I played it on ScummVM and for some reason thought it was an excellent free retro Indie.
